a. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

b. Probably accepted because, of the 80 shots in the DB of this aircraft, this is the only one showing a close up of the celebratory scheme on the door. A bit like tailfin shots really...they have the whole of the rest of the aircraft missing !

No wheels, no wings, not even a logo......but still accepted-and the photographer is not a crew member.

Can I remind you of the first line of the posting guidelines:

No "Flaming"
Please do not post any messages that harrass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest against their wishes.

Exactly why there is very little discussion here. As mature posters, most know the limits without constant reminders.
Can we have one question answered..........are all screeners monitors calibrated to the same standard?
To be perfectly honest it amazes me the low quality/borderline quality of some photos being accepted here at times.

I dont whant to cause to much trouble here but i will find the photo that was rejected for backlighting when it was not, the lighting was behind me and maybe a bit to one side. The time and direction of the runway will prove it.

Looking at your current rejections I found no backlit rejection, it makes such a discussion much easier when we can acutally see the photo.

It was probably accepted because a) it's not backlit (remember the main title of this topic?) and b) it meets the standards of this site. But thanks for plugging a photo of mine

BTW: another example: [photoid=5994975] and I don't know the photog!!!! WOW!!!!!

No, our monitors are not calibrated. If you see bad photos here, then mostly because on borderlines we mostly (not always) still will go along our slogan "Look for a reason to accept". Granted, this causes some inconsistencies in borderline areas, but we still think it's better that way, than having fix rules, which itself tend to be too high and too detailed.

I don't see much of a problem with uncalibrated monitors. If it were so, the photos uploaded by the screeners would show far more differences for example in colors or contrast.

Might have guessed you'd jump on the moaning band wagon.

To be perfectly honest as well, it amazes me why you hang around if you haven't got a good word to say.

Admin.....methinks it's time to lock this one. It's going nowhere and has stepped well away from the original thread subject......and it's also making these forums more like some of the "flaming" diatribes on Anet.

Nah, let's wait a little while ...

It was a few months ago but i have been to busy to bring this issue up. It was a photo of a Cub at Old Warden, i uploaded a series of them all taken on the same day and others where accepted. I will find it later when i get a chance.

It is really hard to say anything constructive if we talk about one photo that was rejected months ago. And when the majority was accpeted nevertheless, then our system does not seem to have an error, you just have to accept the fact that borderline shots will always have a 50:50 chance. It might be the case that this photo was worse then the accpeted ones on one way or the other and the screener found no reason to accpet it.

Thanks Gerardo……that has been a question asked and unanswered on many occasions here, although the answer was generally known and accepted. My question was designed to create debate, and I considered on topic as a couple of questions appeared to maybe relate to how different photos may be viewed on different monitors. My personal opinion is that they should be…the accepted requirement of screening, and of course its subjectivity, would suggest the closer tolerances on monitors would be beneficial.

Mark, if you think I am moaning that is your opinion that you are perfectly entitled to.

Thanks Gerardo……that has been a question asked and unanswered on many occasions here,

You're welcome, but I'm almost 100% sure, that this has been answered already in the past. I could be wrong of course ....

when the tail is in shadow the image would be considered backlit

Matt

Matt, can you expand on this please.
Are you meaning in this instance, or in general?

Paul.

[seahawk]

When you see the shadow of the tail on the fuselage (or the shadow of the fuselage on the wing), then a backlit rejection is likely - not certain. And it is not a rule, just an advice for pre-screening your own uploads.
